Chapter 7 Until the End of Eternity
Standing in front of a mirror, Emmy stared at herself. A beautiful young woman wearing a gorgeous white wedding dress was reflected. Susan was talking to her, but she heard nothing. Everything felt surreal. Lucy finished placing tiny white and red roses into her long blonde hair, which was done up in curls. Then she heard the words, "It's time."
She turned her head to gaze out the window. Looking out at the beautiful ocean gave her a surge of confidence. She turned around and gathered the long train of her dress into her delicate hands. "Let's go, then!"
Through the corridor, down the stone staircase, and through the main hall they hurried. As they approached the great mahogany doors to the wedding, the three girls spotted Mr. Tumnus waiting for them. "Hurry!" He called out softly.
Susan and Lucy both gave Emmy a quick hug before entering the hall. After they were in, Mr. Tumnus asked, "Are you ready?" He would be her escort in.
She was hit with a sudden burst of nervousness. "I don't think I can do this," she gasped, her voice shaking. Her face was masked with her nerves.
"Don't worry. Everything's going to be amazing!" He smiled at her. She slipped her arm through his and took a deep breath. He pushed open the doors. She gripped her boquet of red and white roses tightly as she saw all eyes were on her.
She let out a faint whimper, so soft that only the faun next to her could hear. He chuckled.
As she walked forward, her eyes scanned the room filled with guests. Then her gaze met Peter's. Just like that, her fears vanished. She smiled broadly, keeping her eyes on his.
The ceremony was beautiful. Aslan was the one who married them. At one point, Peter's and Emmy's hands were tied together with a white silk ribbon, showing the unbreakable bond between them. Mr. Tumnus wrapped the ribbon around her left and his right hand. Then came the rings. Saying their vows, they each placed a gold ring on the other's finger.
At last, Aslan pronounced them husband and wife. Emmy let a single tear of joy roll down her cheek. Peter took her face in his hands. Brushing away the tear, he said, "I love you until the end of eternity," then kissed her for the first time as her husband.
The guests erupted into applause and cheers. Susan and Lucy wiped their eyes, and Edmund whistled. Smiling, the newlyweds faced the crowd and walked down the aisle, greeting the guests as they went.
Emmy stood on the balcony of their new room, looking at the luminous moon and twinkling stars. The warm summer night breeze wrapped itself around her body, her night dress fluttering.
She heard the curtains swish behind her as Peter came out onto the moonlit balcony. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder. Resting her head against his, she looked out into the sky and saw the small strip of pale pink that was the rising sun.
"I love you until the end of eternity."
